🌟 Proud moment for our Cadets at WNY Maritime Charter School!

The Cadets will return to collect the flags next Tuesday, June 3rd.

This afternoon, cadets went for a ride on the Seneca Chief boat from Tonawanda to Amherst. We spent two hours on the replica of the first boat to cruise the canal almost 200 years ago. Today, we had assistance from the tug Churchill for propulsion. In 1825, the boat was pulled by mules along a towpath.
It was a little cold, but the Sun kept everyone warm!
A special thanks to MSG Jaskowiak and Mr. LiPuma for shuttling us back and forth on the bus.
Martine High School Cadets and Staff contributed today, partnering with ConnectLife.org to give blood and support the local community.
